Trump sought and actively tried to subvert constitutional government and overturn the results of the presidential election. And what he could not do through the arcane rules and procedures of the Electoral College, he tried to do through the threat of brute force, carried out by an actual mob.
I agree, but only to a point. They’ve included people in their Thanksgiving plans for years. This is just the latest gimmick of theirs. They’ve even appeared on a Gameshow. And they’re not really making money off of this either. The price for those rooms is just $16 harkening back to 2016, the year of their accidental encounter.
The human species has topped 8 billion, with longer lifespans offsetting fewer births, but world population growth continues a long-term trend of slowing down, the US Census Bureau said Thursday....
Created by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen in the late 1990s, Typewriter Eraser, Scale X is a large, colorful sculpture depicting this once-common but now obsolete tool. It stands outdoors at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.
Now show the tattoos of the Wagner higher-ups. Oh oh! And also the numerous Russian soldiers seen photographed with Nazi tattoos. Oh you could also show some photos of the Floridian Neo Nazis, or maybe the far right extremist group that Germany just put pressure on. It’s almost as if there are idiots with racist and bigoted ideologies everywhere around the world.
My point in bringing up Florida and Germany is that both have recently seen an outpouring of Nazi ideology. You seem to have fixated on Ukraine, a nation currently being invaded by an imperialist nation, and doing its best every single day to oust corruption and other bad parties from within its borders. Why do you say Wagner is run by crazies and not Nazis? In the plane crash that killed Prigozhyn and several other higher ups in Wagner, Prigozhyn’s second-in-command, Dmitry Utkin, was only able to be recognized because of the distinctive Nazi tattoos he had on his chest and shoulders.
You defend Russia, a country known for repeatedly invading other nations for reasons that change every other week, that also constantly say that “Europe is next” and other propagandist rhetoric. Just watch some Russian state TV to get a taste of that.
Man you are really simping hard for Wagner, a PMC that cut a man’s head off while he was still alive and filmed the whole thing, a PMC that has committed numerous documented war crimes in Ukraine and bragged about them on social media, a PMC that executes people with sledgehammers and then sends said sledgehammers to the EU to brag, a PMC that has been systematically destroying nations in Africa and aiding rebellions. I think they have a few openings in their administration if you’re looking for work.
You claim that calling Russia imperialist ignores the current context of the war? What context would that be? The one where Russia wants to return to its imperial borders by invading and suppressing its neighbors’ sovereignty? What context did I miss?
The mental hurdles you’re flying through would make you Olympic athlete. NATO is an enemy of Russia? Sure NATO was created as a counter to Soviet aggression, but then why isn’t NATO invading Russia given that their enemy is weakened and demoralized? It’s because NATO is a defensive organization. How was Ukraine helping NATO? By wanting to join and be protected against Russia who would likely invade, rape, kill, pillage Ukraine? Oh wait that’s what they’re currently doing.
Lol what biolabs? The ones that no physical evidence has ever turned up? The ones that only exist in Russia’s narrative? You’re saying I don’t want Europeans liberated? Liberation from what and by whom? Russia “liberates” ethnicities by sending them off to the front lines to be killed in a meat grinder. Ask the Chechens and the Tatars. You’re the only pro-colonialist here.
I must admit though I’m very impressed with the amount of disinformation you’ve put out in these last few messages. You must either be on Russian payroll or have been drinking that propagandist Kool-Aid.
Supposedly the studios are only allowed to train their AI on scripts THEY own. Not sure how much that matters if you’re a writer working for a studio, but as an outsider looking in, that seems to be what made the difference for the WGA.
Also, this tentative deal would only last up to September of 2026 so either way this deal has an expiration date. Does that mean that studios can do whatever they want with their AI after this date? How much more advanced is AI going to get in these 3 years? Do writers now have a 3 year lifespan remanining?
I spent the last 3 years living in St. Kitts & Nevis. These are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I absolutely loved the island of St. Kitts. The juxtaposition of the mountains next to the oceans is simply breathtaking. I hope to visit again some day.
